Abstracts: The focus of this project is on discretionary work effort, work effort that is voluntary, is above and beyond what is minimally required or normally expected to avoid reprimand or dismissal, and is organizationally functional. Discretionary work effort is an important construct because it is known to affect individual performance as well as organisational efficiency and effectiveness. To optimize organisational performance and ensure their long term competitiveness and sustainability, firms need to be able to induce their employees to work at or near their peak level. To work at or near their peak level, individuals must be willing to supply discretionary work effort. A Work Effort application includes many things like task management, Define Project, Project phase, To-Do Items, Calendar Items, and Workflow Activities.
